Enjoy your day Mr Em. We’re cutting a couple of trees, one of which is encroaching on the road and the other just getting too big. Still surrounded by beautiful countryside however!

Midweek message: take time to stop and inhale the beauty around you. 🌸

Morning! Had I grown up where I grew up in a different era, this is what I would have been wearing.

Good morning Mary - up early to hang out washing. Pretty chilly but bright blue sky & max. 19° today. Neighbour helping us take down two trees which are getting too big. “Timber!!! “

Good morning on this cold Wednesday. We're now half way through October - hoodies and jumpers at the ready. Stay safe.

Good morning Mary. Tea, a shower, breakfast with coffee, Wordle… no rush. Enjoy your day. Bright but chilly start here.

Good morning on this cloudy Tuesday. It's too early to plan the day... perhaps after more coffee... Stay safe.

I’ll bear this in mind when putting mayonnaise (which I love!) into my sandwiches. 🥪

These Netanyahu ghouls claim to speak not only for all Jewish people, but for the entire world. But by sucking up to Trump, they ensure that none of them will go on trial in The Hague any time soon.

In case you missed it ...
Barnier has said many times over the years that the door is always open for us to rejoin the EU. We'd lose the rebate we used to have, of course. But anything would be better than continuing our isolation and decline with Brexit.

Corbyn paid lip service to being anti-Brexit and he shut out my views on remaining in the EU.

Voters' voices are being shut out of British politics. Your Party has a radical plan to change that | Jeremy Corbyn

At our conference in November we will use a jury service-type model to allow members to discuss and decide policy, strategy and even the name of our party, says Your Party co-leader Jeremy Corbyn

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Can’t agree that Blair is evil. He made a huge mistake with the Iraq war but his time as PM brought welcome changes in GB and in Ireland.

Lyndsey @lyndseydoob.bsky.social · 2d

Evil incarnated should be nowhere near Gaza. Blair should be rotting in The Hague. Alongside Maxwell, Epstein and The orange clown baby.

A screenshot of a BBC news post and a response with an image.
The BBC post is at the bottom of the page it says:
BBC News (UK)
Tony Blair met with Jeffrey Epstein whilst Prime Minister
At the top of the page is where the response is. It is black text on a white background and says:
“Ghislaine Maxwell, carrying the Epstein files, on her way to serve as Tony Blair’s Vice governor of Gaza.”
Below this text is a painting, I’m unsure of who it is by so I do apologise for my lack of knowledge. But it shows a female wearing white floating above the ground with agricultural land in the background, a couple of people looking up as she floats by. Seems to be set in a previous century and has horses pulling carts in the distance.
(If anyone does know the paintings info can you please educate me! It would be much appreciated)

Really admire #AliceRoberts but cannot stand anything involving #Rylan. So shan’t be watching.

Otto English @ottoenglish.bsky.social · 2d

Appalling and sloppy... but EVEN more so when you consider the show's subject matter...

Alice Roberts @profaliceroberts.bsky.social · 2d

I’m sure they didn’t mean to eliminate the woman in this image.

Don’t call people ‘demented’ lightly. My dad died with dementia. It was traumatising. When I call Trump ‘demented’, it’s because I mean it. I think that everything I have seen and heard suggests an acute cognitive decline that goes way beyond his usual ignorant, dumb and narcissistic self.

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 2d

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

With a dodgy knee my steps are unlikely to be graceful but I will glide along flat surfaces with enthusiasm today as the sun is shining. Bon courage for the week ahead Mr Em.

Good morning Mary - in shorts yesterday & today but cover up in the chilly evenings. Sunny days give a good feeling. Enjoy your day & stay warm.
